Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...

For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.

The world's largest scientific machine has cost $10 billion, has worked only nine days and has yet to smash an atom. The unique equipment in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) circular tunnel with ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled as to why there is not as much "antimatter" in the universe as expected. The latest observations made with a machine called the Large Hadron Collider particle ...

WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...

A report published late last month outlines MATHUSLA, a particle detector named for the longest-lived person in the Bible. Reading time 2 minutes The world’s largest particle collider is set to get a ...

Particle physics may not be trending on TikTok, but make no mistake—it’s quietly hosting the biggest show in science. At the heart of this show is CERN’s famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the ...

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

Scientists working with particle colliders have long been at the frontier of discovering new dimensions of reality. Recently, a groundbreaking discovery at a leading particle collider has sent ripples ...
